The Shining: The Dream

Don't Ever Fall Asleep During A Movie You Genuinely Find Creepy...

Okay, you've probably figured out the movie I was watching by now, but it'll take a little more effort to explain the dream I had...

I came home from Krys's after meeting deb (her dad's wife, as Krys calls her), I didn't mind the night, although I'd rather steer away from spending anymore time with her, Krys was really one of the only things that helped me not strangle her or get into a political debate with her (which would've resulted in the same way, I assure you)... After all, she is perfect proof that my Anti-American point of view isn't just a generalization...

Anyways, so I came home and ate, while my parents went to bed, and Ryan was fed up with his baseball game (yet still left it on!) so he wasn't around either... So after I ate, I turned on ye ol' creep show i.e. "The Shining"... This was about 1 am and I didn't really care what I watched so long as it peeked my interest, and The Shining is one of my favourite scary/creepy movies simply because it actually did creep me out the first time I saw it, instead of laughing at it the way I do with all of the more recent 'scary/creepy' movies...

So yeah, I fell asleep right around the point where Danny is talking with his father when he tries to get his red fire truck toy from his room... It's not one of the creepiest points (probably why I dropped off), but it gives that little 'I'm going to kill you soon' sort of aura to it... Anyways! geez I'm taking a long time...

So, my dream was about Danny and I... We were walking around the hotel and I could see all the blood and bodies that he could but we didn't really pay much attention to them... He refers to me as Mister A'Court just like he does with his Mother when he becomes Tony, and we walk to those stairs where Wendy smacked Jack with the baseball bat, and we look down and there's Jack lying at the bottom of the stairs... And then instantly somehow we're in the giant maze that Danny runs though to get away from Jack and Danny is Danny again (not Tony) and he giggles and runs into the maze... Now this is about the part when everything creeps me out once I woke up and remembered it... So I run after Danny and follow his tracks in the snow and everywhere I turn my head I see Jack... He's either buried in the snow frozen dead, or he's limping around, axe in hand, and yelling at the top of his lungs... Then suddenly we're back inside the hotel and I'm standing over Jacks desk looking down at the pile of paper which usually reads, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." but this time it reads, "All work and no play makes Danny a dull boy." And just like in the movie, I hear a voice say, "How do you like it?" but I don't scream and turn to see Danny standing there and repeat in Tony's voice, "How do you like it?"...

~End~

It's kind of corny, I realize that... but it creeped me out and it took me awhile to go back to sleep this morning... Funny thing is, I got a fairly good idea for a fan-comic sort of thing out of it... LOL How my mind works is strange... very strange...

A Cell Phone And Other Birthday Happenings...

Well, I said once that cell phones and other miscellaneous gadgetry would one day be the end of all man kind, but now like so many of my other opinions this particular one has fallen to the wayside and given way for one simple word; necessity. I guess you could say I've turned to my proverbial dark-side more than once this birthday year.

The Number:(905) 396 4187

And as you can clearly see, I have another newer coming about- my new blog. I hate to refer to the fact that I still do have my old blog, but in terms of turning to the dark sides of things, this particular trick isn't all that new.

~x~x~x~

Yesterday was fun, sort of... I went into town at around 5/6 or so, because my parents had decided as a last minute thing that we'd go out for dinner and if Krys wanted to come with us, she could; and did. We went to Pizza Hut and had a huge meal, Pizza Hut isn't my favourite eatery, but since we went to the Mandarin on Ryan's birthday as a kind of two birds-one stone sort of thing for the both of us, I didn't think we'd be going to anywhere special... Hell, I didn't really think anything was going to happen on my birthday. But I guess I'm glad we did something for it; well, on the day of it... I guess I was kind of expecting any and all celebrations to be going on this weekend, which they are.

Krys got me the cutest wittle dragon still hatching from its shell. It reminds me of a scene from 'Jurassic Park' where the raptor was being born and it had a chunk of shell stuck to its head.

Which brings me to the next issue I wanted to say... Please, please, please, PLEASE! No other dragon sculptures. Krys gave me one to add to my collection, and I'll ask everyone not to get me another for this birthday. The other thing I wanted to ask was- PLEASE! No fireball. I still have that huge thing of fireball that I got at Christmas or something; I think it was either Tara or Michelle that gave it to me. Well in either case I still have it, unopened! Yes that's right, the seal is not broken, and it probably won't be until Hallowe'en or something. Not that I've lost my taste for it, I just think my partying has gone down a bit during this year.

Anyways... BTW, if anyone wishes to confer with me about this weekend you can either try me on MSN or phone me as per usual. So far, I have only a few people coming and not much planned. My thoughts are that we'd(I'd) go out and rent a bunch of movies (/anime if the census is in favour of it.), or there's always my pool (even if the water is slightly opaque, it's still swimmable and perfectly healthy... is 'swimmable' a word?)... Other than those activities, I believe the next best thing is pool (billiards, I mean)... After that, I'm drawing a blank.

Okay, I think this is long enough... for now. Now just spell and grammar check with MS Word... And Publish Post...

P.S. If you find any spelling/grammar errors in any of my future posts, please direct your complaints to Mr. Bill Gates... Not that he'll be able to do much.

Iaminyourveins!
